Layers aren't fading out

Hello,

I'm stumped. It's probably a newbie issue.

On one slide, I have created buttons that pop open slide layers when clicked. Each slide layer opens with a fade animation. I am trying to make the layer fade out when the user clicks a different button on the screen. So far, everything fades in as intended, but the fade out does not appear to be working.

If someone has a moment, I'd appreciate any help. Sample file attached.

  • Layers do not have an exit animation. The easiest way to do it is :

    1. Give every object an exit animation.

    2. Pause the timeline .1 sec or less before the end of the timeline, including the fade time.  e.g. if the timeline is 5 sec long, and the fade is .75, pause the timeline when it reaches 4.2 sec.

    3. Restart the timeline when user clicks other button.

    4. Hide this layer (or whatever is the next action) when timeline ends.

    That was the solution. Ctrl+A then add the animation. All objects as to end of timeline.
